“Whoosh~” The suppression of the formation enveloping the arena dissipated, and Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and flew out.

Following closely, Ji Ming also emerged from the arena looking rather bedraggled and came to Leng Yan’s side, bowing his head in silence.

“Purple Garment Princely Heir, I ask that you abide by the duel agreement and fulfill the contract,” the purple-garbed girl said loudly.

In an instant.

Hundreds of Demigods present all turned their gazes towards Leng Yan, whose expression was shifting.

Before coming here, the mission given to him by Lord Huan Zhen was to find a way to defeat Li Yuan in public.

Only by defeating Li Yuan publicly could Lord Huan Zhen use this as a pretext to approach Sha Xi Pseudo-God or even the King.

Thus, as soon as Leng Yan received news that Li Yuan had left the Divine Fire Palace, he rushed over immediately.

However, Leng Yan could never have imagined that Li Yuan’s strength would be so terrifying.

“Damn it!”

“Having such strength, why not directly become the number one on the Flying Heaven List? Why bother ranking tenth?” Leng Yan felt bitter inside, knowing he was in big trouble.

Not only had he lost the opportunity to the Jue Xing Ancient City.

But he had also stirred up such a formidable enemy.

Should the other party bear a grudge, after a few hundred years, once the opponent has grown… I’m afraid even his mother will be out of luck.

Many thoughts flashed through Leng Yan’s mind, but his face was full of shame: “Brother Xu Yuan, I was wrong. For someone at the Flying Heaven Level with such strength, it’s truly unbelievable.”

“Your ranking on the Flying Heaven List as tenth is too modest. You definitely deserve to be the first. Such strength, I admire incomparably. I am convinced by my defeat.”

“Regarding the duel, we said five hundred Fangshen Crystals.”

“But for this treasure, any excess value will serve as compensation for my offense, I hope you don’t take it to heart,” Leng Yan said admiringly, “Later on, I will set up another feast as an apology.”

Li Yuan looked at the other party with some surprise.

What a Leng Yan.

What a son of Lord Huan Zhen!

He was still blustering just a moment ago, but as soon as he saw that he had revealed his astonishing strength, he admitted his mistake swiftly and even offered an apology gift.

Such temperament and forbearance are certainly not ordinary.

“No need to apologize, you did nothing wrong. Indeed, I did not reveal my strength earlier, and it was somewhat inappropriate to claim the slot,” Li Yuan shook his head, and at the same time decisively accepted the Red Crystal Stone.

Li Yuan was not about to be polite.

“Haha, then that’s more like it,” Leng Yan laughed, “Brother Xu Yuan is much more suitable than me. This trip to the Jue Xing Ancient City will surely result in distinguished success, a remarkable story waiting to unfold.”

“Alright.”

“Then, Brother Xu Yuan, continue to enjoy the drinks. I have some matters to attend to and must take my leave first,” Leng Yan bowed and smiled, waved his hand, and hurried away with his subordinates along the corridor.

From beginning to end, although the other hundreds of Demigods were watching, nobody interjected.

Although they are Demigods.

Neither the background-strong Leng Yan nor the exceptionally gifted Li Yuan… are their equals.

“A treasure worth thousands of Fangshen Crystals, given away just like that,” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Impressive indeed.”

The other party expressed goodwill, and Li Yuan didn’t mind accepting it.

After all, there is no life-or-death enmity with Lord Huan Zhen’s lineage, and there’s no need to have a Peak of Pseudo-God hold a grudge.

“Brother Xu,” Jiang Xuan walked up excitedly.

“Brother Xu Yuan, amazing.”

Yan Long approached with a smiling face, “I was blinded before, please forgive me. Later, I will punish myself with three cups of drink.”

Though it was just a conversation, he was indeed worried about Li Yuan holding a grudge.

That would be a big problem.

“Haha, Brother Yan Long, don’t worry, I didn’t take it to heart,” Li Yuan said with a smile.

“Brother Xu Yuan, after today’s battle, your name will likely spread throughout the entire Yuan Country Capital very soon,” Baili Teng teased, “Jiang Shan, your title as the number one talent in the Divine Kingdom, I’m afraid it may not last.”

“Compared to Brother Xu Yuan, my talent is just average,” Jiang Shan shook his head with a sigh: “Looking across the countless Flying Heavens in the Jue Xing Continent, Brother Xu Yuan is probably among the very top.”

Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

The very top?

If they knew he had only revealed one percent of his strength, they would probably be even more dumbfounded.

As Jiang Yuan True God said, looking across the continent’s Flying Heaven Level, he could compete for the first place.

But Li Yuan understood that revealing such talent was sufficient.

Being too exceptional might not be a good thing.

“What a pity,” Jiang Shan suddenly shook his head with emotion, “If only Brother Xu Yuan was born a decade earlier, he might have had the chance to compete in the Ancestral Realm Battles. But now, it’s a bit late.”
